Carbon Steel Tape 1095 - 25 mm x 5 Meter

Precision feeler gauge tape

Precision tapes / backing foils made of carbon steel C100S - 1095 are used among others in mechanical engineering as underlay foils, for aligning workpieces in grinding machines or for setting and measuring gap dimensions.

Properties material 1095

With a carbon content of over 1%, this material is very well suited for feeler gauges and underlay foils as well as for highly stressed springs, which are not subject to any corrosion requirements.

Compared to the materials 1.1231 (C67S), 1.1248 (C75S) and 1.1269 (C85S), which have a lower carbon content, the material 1095 is also suitable for high mechanical loads and has a high fatigue strength.

Technical information

The thickness tolerance is defined according to DIN EN 9445 table 1 or T3.

The material 1095 is magnetizable and can therefore be clamped on magnetic chucks of grinding machines.

The structure of the strip is changed by the hardening process. This means that the rolling direction does not have to be taken into account when edging. Bending radius: at least 10 times the strip thickness.

The unalloyed steels must be estimated from corrosion by an oil film. Tinning or galvanizing or painting these steels can withstand corrosion permanently.

Further applications / properties:

• Wear strips
• Printing racks
• very easy to etch
• magnetizable
